Unconventional finite element method for nonlinear analysis of beams and plates

In this thesis, mixed finite element models of beams and plates bending are developed to include other variables (i.e., the membrane forces and shear forces) in addition to the bending moments and vertical deflection, and to see the effect of it on the nonlinear analysis. Models were developed based...
